POMONA, CA -- Two-time Pro Stock World Champion Erica Enders hates losing, so it's fair to say she won't love this Valentine's Day. Enders lost in the first round of the 2016 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season opener, shaking the tires at the hit and almost immediately getting out of the throttle of her Elite Motorsports/Mopar Dodge Dart.
